Budget Tours & Trips to France Reviews
- Paris, Normandy and the Loire
The tour was very interesting and it covered many beautiful places. I am very pleased with choosing this tour of Paris, Loire Valley and Normandy. The transportation was very good, the driver called Laurent drove so smoothly, no hips and bumps what so ever, it was like a dream. I felt very safe all the journey. My feet and ankles started to swell towards the end, but it's not unexpected after such a long journey. The leg room in our bus was very good/spacious. Peter, the guide, is amazing at his job, pleasant all the time having to deal with so many people, very calm, good jokes, lots of information about the places we visited, always very helpful, a star.
- Spain, south of France, Burgundy and Alsace
Scenic, Packed, and Worth It! The French Riviera tour was stunning—so many gorgeous spots packed into a short time! You get to visit places that would be difficult to manage on your own, and the views are absolutely unforgettable. It was a bit hectic with tight schedules, long drives, and limited time at each location, but the guides did their best to keep things organized. With a diverse group of people and different guides across locations, it could feel a bit overwhelming, but the beauty of the Riviera made it all worth it. Highly recommended if you want to see a lot in a short time!
Wonderful tour of France! We saw and did SO much in those 13 days! I enjoyed every day, but especially Nice, Lourdes, Bordeaux wine tasting, Mont St. Michel, and Omaha Beach and the US cemetery there. The included meals could’ve been better. At times, only one choice was offered, so I’d choose the vegetarian option on nights where I didn’t like the meat choice! I wish we had more time at some of the stops, but I guess that’s a reason to go back! The hotels were all acceptable, but if you’re looking for more luxury, book Trafalgar! For the price, you can’t beat this tour! I had a wonderful experience and will definitely use Costsaver/Trafalgar again!
